\intbl cell 1\cell
\intbl cell 2\cell
\intbl cell 3\cell

Editing directly in RTF becomes quickly unreadable. Pehaps this practical approach works better: - Create an example mock-up ( in Excel or Word ) using unique identifiers as placeholders ( example "(P1)" ) - Then save as RTF - Open the RTF in notepad - copy the RTF codes "as is" and replace the placeholders with actual values in your program
